Maurizio Cattelan - revised and expanded edition (ART) - Tapa blanda

"Quite possibly i-D's favourite Italian artists since Caravaggio, Maurizio Cattelan's one and only monograph is released this month in a new updated mini-format edition. And before you can scream `cheap pocket-sized cash in', the size of the book itself has been conceived by Cattelan himself as a sculpture in itself: an extension of his ongoing work playing with the conventions of scale... An essential - and unobtrusive - addition to your art collection, let alone your book collection."-i-D "[...] Phaidon have put within reach the complete works of Maurizio Cattelan."-b-guided "This book is a truly superb production. It should be enjoyed by everyone interested in contemporary art or just puzzled by the seeming obscurities of Postmodernism."-World of Interiors On the Contemporary Artists Series "The boldest, best executed, and most far-reaching publishing project devoted to contemporary art. These books will revolutionize the way contemporary art is presented and written about."-Artforum "The combination of intelligent analysis, personal insight, useful facts and plentiful pictures is a superb format invaluable for specialists but also interesting for casual readers, it makes these books a must for the library of anyone who cares about contemporary art."-Time Out "A unique series of informative monographs on individual artists."-The Sunday Times "Gives the reader the impression of a personal encounter with the artists. Apart from the writing which is lucid and illuminating, it is undoubtedly the wealth of lavish illustrations which makes looking at these books a satisfying entertainment."-The Art Book
